The Amazon Wide body flew multiple legs before Mia. Maybe he was short on fuel and took the downwind runway and couldn’t make a go around and dropped it in. There was very little fire after the crash. Kind of like the Korean wide body the hit the embankment at SFO years ago; flew multiple legs and did not take on any fuel. Seems he ran out of fuel on final.

It doesn't work that way. Airliners potentially short of fuel declare a fuel mayday
